Blue Jays OF/DH Matt Stairs only had one hit in Wednesday night's win over the Twins, but it was a big one as he launched a first-inning grand slam in the victory for his sixth homer of the year. "(Bonser) was trying to go fastball away and I think he missed his spot," said Stairs. "I just happened to put a good swing on it and barrel it." (Updated 05/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Stairs is six for his last 10 and is now hitting .304 on the season. His performance is making Jays fans forget Frank Thomas quickly as Toronto has won eight of their last 12 games. He looks like a solid option in all leagues right now, but while there is obvious pop in his bat, his age and general inconsistency makes him someone you cannot trust in mixed leagues on an every-week basis.
